Sandor Hermens

Manager Legal Affairs Achmea Investment Management

'In addition to the theory, a lot of time and space has been built in to discuss daily dilemmas with fellow students or teachers. The diversity of what you encounter every day is linked to the theory.'
Erik Bakx

Partner btw-groep en Belastingadvies Publieke Sector bij BDO Nederland

'Because I have become much more aware of my strategic preferences, I ask someone with a different blood group to contribute ideas or to take a critical look more often than before. Strategy formation has become a joint process.'

Improve your leadership and business skills

The many risks and rapid changes businesses face require a different approach. This leads to questions such as: How can I get more out of myself and my organization? How do I create support for strategic choices? Or how can I add new insights to my knowledge and skills to help me lead the transformation? Important questions that require an answer.

The Executive Leadership & Management Program

The Executive Leadership & Management Program combines the best of both worlds: the latest scientific insights and years of practical experience from lecturers, your peers and yourself. We use a 'pressure cooker' method to take your knowledge, insights, and skills to the next level. The program will also give you a new perspective on your organization.

Results Of The Executive Leadership & Management Program:

You gain the knowledge, insights and skills to effectively anticipate complex challenges, which will help you make the right strategic decisions
Time for reflection: the program is interactive; you are encouraged to share ideas with top professors, experts, and peers. You will use other companies and cases to reflect on your—and your company's—situation throughout the program
You are building a network of like-minded people in senior management
